The main objectives of this project are:

• Encourage and support the emergence of an economic sector for the treatment and management of marine sediments guiding regional ports, companies involved in research, treatment and development to a position of international strength in this area.
• Clarify and develop the work and investigations of MEDDTL with a view to having support on a regulatory level.
• Offer tools to those working in the maritime sector such as a guide to methodology and a centre of resource and expertise including a sediment reference database for managing sediment within the environment.
• Provide a scale 1 demonstration model on the ZIP site at Brégaillon.
• Study the possibility of creating a Mediterranean observation forum on this subject.
